While you're under excessive stress, I wouldn't consider trying to maintain myself without
medication. After the stress has ceased, then you might wish to talk to your psychiatrist and see if it's possible for you to go back to an unmedicated state.

It can be done by some who are diligent about almost every aspect of their life,
but the illness can also get worse over the years without medication for many. It's
a decision you'll need to make only with the best expert advice of a good psychiatrist.

I'd get back on medications now while you're under this stress. Stress is a major
factor in promoting an episode.
